Why it matters: The event brings photographers, creatives and members of the public together for an evening dedicated to photography from across East Anglia, with the awards revealed live on the night.

The details: More than 500 photographs were originally submitted, spanning six categories, with a panel of six judges selecting 120 for the final exhibition.

  • The awards ceremony will be held live at the event.
  • Live music will run alongside the photography exhibition.
  • The event takes place at MOTE's home on Museum Street – Ipswich's original 1847 museum building, which reopened as MOTE in August.
  • Doors open: 18:30
  • Awards ceremony: 19:00

MOTE said hosting the awards is a way to celebrate creative talent from the region while opening its doors to the wider community.

The building, formerly Arlingtons, now hosts a changing programme of exhibitions, events, art, science and environmental displays.

The bottom line: Ipswich will host this year's East Anglian Photography Awards, with 120 shortlisted images on public display and winners announced on the night.
